If you want to find the video, look no further than [lastfm]Beyonce[/lastfm]’s own YouTube Channel. Yet you know what you won’t find there? Any of the thousands upon thousands of tributes, parodies, and just plain random videos have made the song a true viral sensation. There are many reasons why the Beyonce camp can’t/doesn’t want to/shouldn’t endorse these videos – but, hey, that’s why we’re here.

So just in case you missed them over the last year or so, here are the top five truly great – truly funny, random and just plain good “Single Ladies” viral videos (props to snubs [lastfm]Justin Timberlake[/lastfm], Chubby Guy, The REAL Single Ladies Remake, and the Detroit Pistons mascot):

In an interview, Beyonce claimed that this was her favorite viral “Single Ladies” video, and we would probably agree… if it weren’t for the fact that a rights dispute is making it so that no one can host this vid online with the actual music playing in the background.

#4 – The Ring Bearer Steals the ShowYouTube title: Single Ladies – Performed by Samir & his groomsmen

There are a LOT of “Single Ladies” wedding dances – this is our favorite. Not only is it all young men that are clearly being nothing but good sports, there is what looks like a 10-year old kid leading the break. Well done Samir and Co., well done.

We’re not sure how these fellas can physically move like this, or why they’re dressed like 1940s newspaper boys, but man can they dance. Their extension on the first “hands-up” sets the bar, and the rest is dern good, and not without some funny.
